"Spynogriz = One who is gnawing the spine"   
(When you do not have a space for sculpture);  (2020  - ongoing)

 

Spinogriz — a Russian word that loses clarity at every border. The drawings are portraits of sculptures: rendered in the format of 19th century studies, on the paper that goes beneath things. Drawing carries what the body cannot yet make. The work investigates what persists when the conditions for making are gone.
